Sir Files wondered what Genevieve theugiltt. Had her clear eyes seen the incident in its real light? Did she know that :he alone was to blame for his present' condition? After the first anxiety over her father” had passed, Genevieve began to view the tragedy much as her father was doing. It was not the shock of Kelly's marriage, but his uncontrolled anger, fed by wshisky • and flogged by his own fiery words. He had exaggerated and distorted a simple act of independence into an irreparable disastdr. Sometimes she saw her father watching her, his eyes trying to read her mind. She even caught a subtle plea, "You know, but don't betray me." eWhen Miles had recovered suffici- ently to get up, he still refused to see anyone but the family and one 'on- two old friends. He hed always been proud of his fine physique and kis eloquence. He did not relish the idea of pity. He refused to be a theme for Club gossip.

She knew that if once he got involved in busi- ness affairs it would hasten his re- , covert', though it was doubtful if he would ever again plead in court. Robin had come to see him re- gularly, but the subject of Maisie Kite and her dismissal had never been referred to. Miles had avoided it, and Robin could not introduce it. Ile was therefore completely in the dark as to what had happened during his absence. And he had not seenber since. It had been the source of the first quarrel between he and his mother.

Robin did not go out to see Kelly, but wrote a little note wishing them happiness. When he went to see his uncle each day Genevieve was there, an efficient s,cretary to her father. After their first unhappy encount- er, when Genevieve suggested that marriage was now out of the quest- ion—at least, for the present, and Robin readily agreed—too readily, Genevieve thought—they had . not met alone. - Genevieve dreamt of the Robin of earlier days, the gentle, courteous companion, the diffident lover.

She knew herself capable of an ardent and generous response. There was nothing milk -and -watery about her. Now it seemed that they had slipped back from the first heights they had reached, a disquiet- ing mood was upon them. It was a waiting from which the eager ex- pectancy had been drained away, leaving only a sense of frustration; of temporary defeat. in love with him and he with me. Unfortunately, however, he- is called' away frequently to work, sometim- es es several weeks elapsing beofre returns home, and it is impossible for me to go with him on these oc- casions. You will . appreciate that,`I am thus left very lonely, and being young, like to have at least a fairly good time. I have been going out, of course, and on one of these , ran Basions, when my husband was awa'r', became acquainted with a very like- able young man, about my own -age. He comes from a good family, and took a liking to me, so that he asked me quite often to let him take rpe out. There is nothing emotional about our friendship; it is entirely piatonie, but for some reason or other -I didn't tell my husband about him, really, I think, because it didn't oe- cur to me that it was worth tellint about. Now that we see each other, quite often, it doesn't seem possible. for me to tell my husband, and 1 am beginning to worry a little, because I wouldn't want him to be worried. Is there anything you can tell me or advise that plight help me solve this little problem?" I can quite appreciate the lone- liness that this young married lady has to put up with when her husband is away for long stretches, and the temptation to make friends too white away the lonely hours. The differei.de in the ages of this lady. and her bus,- band is considerable, and if there was any question - of incompatibility or divergence. of ,'opinions between them, an affir of the type that she describes would •eertainiy complioa e ntattersl -.. So Genevieve turned to law and the task .of helping her father, and Miles found a deep and compensating hap- piness in their association. He was proud of his daughter. With meti- culous care he explained intricate points of law, and he quick per- ception delighted him. He began to enjoy the role of semi -invalid and the aloof autocracy of directing af- fairs from afar. Gradually he was recovering, and with the knowledge that soon he would be able to return to his old haunts, a complete and. active man, and not one partially dead, he resigned himself to the joy of sharing his days and his work with Genevieve, She might not be a son, but, damn it, she was as good as onel And so the summer passed. The problem of Christmas was success- fully solved by Sir Miles and Lady Penearrow going of to Christchurch. Kitty and Robin went to Palmerston North for the Manawatu races, and Genevieve had her Christmas dinner with Kelly and lois wife. Miles did not ask, nor was he hold, what Genevieve's plans were, but he guess- ed that her loyalty to the old home,' and her affection for Kelly, would draw her back again, Pat's ship arrived at New Year. His easy genial manner had a new importance, and his arrival was a signal for family rejoicing. Genevieve explained to him how things stood at home, for in letters 'For Body's Bath More than that of any other member of the Family, baby's fender, delicate skin needs. the greatest care and attention.

LABORATORY The only sleep laboratory in the world, at Colgate University, is con ducted by Dr. Donald A. Laird, The practical problem of how to get good sleep faces every healthy person; This problem has been studied for more than. tenyears by Dr. Laird, and some of the fruits of this study are revealed by him in the Review of Reviews. In the laboratory twelve persons a night can be studied, and their every slight movement recorded; The average sleeper moves ten or twelve Shines an hour, the soundest sleeper, only four, and the most restless= twenty times There are several theories, yet to be proved, regarding why we sleep. But Dr. Laird is more interested in practical results. For instance, be- cause our blood circulates • more slowly while we sleep we get cold. 7'o be evenly warm in winter, be- cause a mattress is cotton, we should put s, blanket under us as well as over us to get the best results, Certainly relaxation is essential to sound and refreshing sleep, A proper mattress and springs is essential; And the question of a pillow. The normal sleeper turns from side to back to otlier side. When on the side, a p11 low is needed for comfort, but when on the back a pillow strains neck muscles and spine. Dr. Laird has solved this problem for himself, Two pillows, eight inches apart, do the trick no matter which way he turns.

Helen. Sawyer Hogg, of Toronto, one of Canada's three women astro- nomers. "There is oxygen there, though it .is only 1 -1000th of the content of our air.

To Dr. Helen Hogg, who has just come from the Empire's second larg- est observatory at •Vivtoria, B,C., to the largest Empire telescope, the Dunlap Memorial, at Richmond Hill, .Ont., her work is a "grand puzzle - game" and finding the answers is the big kick she gets out of life, accord- ing to an interview in the Toronto Daily Star, Dr, Hogg has come here with her husband astroomer, a Toronto grad- uate whom she met at the Harvard observatory. She is discovering "in- constant" stars in certain beautiful circular masses called "globular clusters," which contain as many as 60,090 stars, all in a group brighter than the sun although invisible to the -naked eye. ' Her work confines her to about 100 of these multifoliate clusters, all of which are above and below the Milky these stars vary in light, it is pos- sible to work out their distance from the earth," explained Dr, Hogg. Only one or two out of the 50,000 or more stars in the cluster may be variable, so her work is very pains- taking. First she takes a photograph- ic record; then, some time later, makes other photographs of the same cluster. One negative is placed over the other to see which stars have var- ied in size. She takes as many as 20 'plates of each cluster, ,:... e.-"Ere"ren—:Foggenue HaTreadruttAtIst' 400 plates on eight clusters -at Vic- toria; this has taken eight, years -- for there are complicated mathe- matics to work out too.

In- stead of softening and growing "sweet, as the notes of most birds do 'during' the nesting season, the •en- deai.m rtts of such a pair are strident shrieks, best simulated by the rapid turning of an old-fashioned watch- man's rattle. To watch a pair of these birds as they fly well above the tree tops along the rivers — and every strech of the Bow and Elbow has its guota of kingfishers—is to imagine a real domestic squabble in progress, for their harsh voices belie the tender feelings which they are trying to express. But like "Maggie and Jiggs," be- hind all the apparent bickering, they are a most devoted couple, with a strong homing instinct which makes them return year after year to the tunnelled home in a river bank where they have raised suc- cessive broods. Therefore it is a matter of lack of voice culture that creates the impression of churlish- ness. It is from the kingfisher that the expression of "halcyon days" has its origin, for the old-fashioned name of this bird is the - Halcyon, According to ancient fable -- and like so many of 'them, showing grave lack of knowledge of natural habits of animal life, --e the' halcyons were believed to build their• nest in the form of a crude raft, floating on the sea, and to possess a mysterious power over the elements to calm the troubled waters while the eggs were hatching and the young birds were being reared. And so the halcyon days,, in the minds of the simple people of those times, were synonymous with days of fair weather.» it was difficult to tell hien the carie - plications.

Planting .of 164,000,000 trees on state and national forest lands in 1934 sets a yearly record to date in the United States, reports the Amer- ican Tree Association. The report shows more than 86,204,000 trees were planted on state forest areas of more than 85,000 acres. On the • national forests there were planted more than 78,000,000 trees on more than 7400 acres. Planting programs for 1935 are now well advanced and the' expec- tation is that there will be consid- erable increase in plantings on state forests while it is expected 100- 000,000 trees will be planted on na- tional forests. There are Spring plantings—in the shelter belt area aggregating 2,000,000 trees. This is a small amount compared with what can be done in the same area in the proposed 10 -year planting pro- gram, but the 2,000,000 seedlings are all that are available.
